Advice Anyone?

Hello
everyone; my weekend was the same as a lot of yours, I’d imagine; hot and
hectic. It’s funny, I work out of the home less than I ever have in my life and
yet I’m busier than ever. Ironic.

Work
on the third book of my trilogy is going slow, but at least it’s going. I don’t
know how all of you write, but for me it’s a tedious process of going over the
story again and again, each time adding maybe a new scene, or a different mood.
Several months and even more revisions later, I have my story. Sometimes it
gets frustrating how long it takes, but as long as I see that the story is
improving I keep at it.

On
another note, I’m thinking about having a blogfest. I’ve never had one before,
so I could really use some advice. It’s really just at the beginning stages
right now, but I was thinking about making it a short story contest with prizes
and then compiling all the stories into one ebook anthology that I would sell
on amazon with all the profits going to Operation Purple*. Okay, so maybe I’ve
been thinking it over for a while, but I have no idea how to get this thing off
the ground.

How
was everyone else’s weekend? Any advice for this newbie in regards to a
blogfest?

*Operation
Purple is a free summer camp experience for children of veterans.
